The real and original Italian food
ear friends, Pizza&Core carries on its mission, that’s to share (elimina the) Italian culture on catering. Today Pizza&core wants to talk about a serious phenomena you can observe in every place in the world: adulteration and counterfeit of Italian food and traditional recipes. In the main article we explain how Italian catering is very loved in each Country: the Italian cuisine attracts people. Europe, USA, China, every Country likes Italian (elimina the) flavors of spaghetti, pizza, ravioli, beef, fish. (elimina the) Italian catering is as loved as imitated: many restaurants don’t cook recipes according to typical tradition. This aspect, counterfeit Italian catering, ruins the image of the “good Italian food”. By Pizza&core magazine we hope to spread the
real and genuine Italian cookery. Changing the subject, we invite you to flip through the magazine online: you’ll find the page dedicated to Pizza Talent Show: Pizza&core, in order to pay homage to the creativity and the spectacular nature of pizza making, as well as the skill, the sympathy and gastronomic flair innate in every pizza maker, has planned the initiative Pizza Talent Show . Pizza Talent Show is an event that is going to take place in Rimini on January 21st and 22nd 2013 , in the frame of the SIGEP exhibition. The registered participants will be called on to perform on the stage of the Pizza Talent Show in Rimini, making live before our cameras a pizza with an original recipe. You can join too! It’s easy to participate: send one email to redazione@inputedizioni.it or visit www.ristonews.com

Pizza and Italian cooking: the most betrayed abroad
F

alsification: it’s the everlasting problem of the Italian products, as much loved as much imitated (unfortunately) abroad. A real alternative business that damages many companies engaged in the production of products such as Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese , Parma or San Daniele ham, just to mention the most famous and so also the most “falsified”. Yet it’s not only the single gastronomic product to be falsified, it’s the whole Italian gastronomic culture to be betrayed in many restaurants in the world. The last remark about the fake “made in Italy” products has been recently pointed out by the Academy of the Italian Cuisine: one of their surveys shows that outside Italy many recipes have been betrayed, manipulated, and dishes passed off as typical and traditional. (The Academy of the Italian Cuisine , let’s remind it, has got 74 foreign delegations and for almost sixty years has been working in 40 foreign Countries, trying to limit the production of fake Italian food). According to the Academy research , the situation is alarming: in 60% of cases, abroad the Italian cooking is made in a “not very correct” way and so only in 40% of cases it is “well-interpreted”. A real detriment to the image of the Beautiful Country’s gastronomy that, as anyone knows, for Italy represents both a cultural flag and an important economic flywheel.
According to the survey the clumsy interpretation of recipes is due in 47% of cases to the fact that cooks who make Italian cooking are not Italians (yet they are above all from Australia and Mexico), and especially since they haven’t been trained. You can learn everything and cooking is a technique besides a passion: however (poor us) only the 9% of non Italian cooks who make Italian cooking have attended school courses, apprenticeships or training courses in our Country. Everyone will easily understand which is the most imitated dish: we’re talking of pizza, followed by tiramisù, lasagna, veal escalopes, pasta seasoned with Bolognese sauce, ravioli, spaghetti with clams, marrowbone and saltimbocca in Roman style. Another aspect to be considered (that maybe won’t comfort us) is that Italian cuisine is the most “disobeyed” in its rules since it is meantime also the most “appealing” : the survey shows that the 68% of foreign Countries love it, followed by Chinese (40 % ), French (38 %) and Japanese (17 % ) cuisine. Italian gastronomy is loved especially because it is regarded as an excellence (85 % ), a community ritual (34 % ), a healthy diet (31 % ). Finally, the survey tells us which is the city with most Italian or masqueraded Italian restaurants: it’s Melbourne with over 1,000 places, followed by Sidney, New York and Montreal.

become the protagonist of our video show
W
e always say that pizza involves all our senses and preparing it turns into a spectacle, a small great creative act where each pizza maker takes care of dough, filling, cooking and aspect. Each pizza is a recipe where the detail, the juxtaposition of flavours, but also of colours and shapes is to be taken care of. Each pizza is nice when it’s fragrant and freshly prepared, but it is nice even while it is moulded under the wise hands of the pizza maker who stretches, fills, bakes it. The Input srl , publisher of Pizza&core and Ristonews.com portal, in order to pay homage to the creativity and the spectacular nature of pizza making, as well as the skill, the sympathy and gastronomic flair innate in every pizza maker, has planned the initiative Pizza Talent Show . Pizza Talent Show is an event that is going to take place in Rimini on January 21st and 22nd 2013 , in the frame of the SIGEP exhibition. It’s easy to participate: all you need to do is signing the registration form at the bottom of the page in pdf format. The registered participants will be called on to perform on the stage of the Pizza Talent Show in Rimini, making live before our cameras a pizza with an original recipe. During the exhibition the pizza maker will introduce himself/ herself, talk about his/her own recipe, the ingredients
chosen and humorously comment on the various processing stages (for example dough stretching, filling, cooking, etc. ). Besides performing, the pizza maker will be judged by a jury of experts who will evaluate taste and cooking. But it’s not all. After the show the pizza maker can be still voted, this time on the web. In fact, for the performance of each pizza maker a video will be shot. The videos will be published on line on the Ristonews.com portal and can be voted on line by friends, colleagues and relatives. By adding the votes from the jury to those gathered on the web it will be possible to announce the best pizza maker of the Pizza Talent Show who, besides receiving a special trophy, will get a video service and a professional reportage for telling his/her story and show even more and better his/her skills and talent. The video of the best Pizza Maker of the Talent Show will be published on the tv web portal www.ristonews.com and on You Tube channel, whereas the reportage on his/her professional background will be published on the Pizza&core magazine.
